Stories from the Past

I already had my sappy moment on the last blog post, so let's just listen to some music! Though the title "Music Time for the Millionth Time" didn't pop up until recently, I think I've always shared music with you guys on this site. Now believe it or not, under the cut is 20 songs that I've never introduced to you guys before! I did say 100 songs, but since I'm apparently horrible at counting, I'll give you 80 for now. Click Read More for some music lovin'!

Last Hope by Paramore is a beautiful song. Paramore is an amazing band. EVERYTHING IS GOOD.

Free on iTunes introduced me to Pittsburgh by William Fitzsimmons. I found it sort of sad, but I still love it.
~~~~~

Since 2013, I've been looking for an extended version of the CNN Student News Friday song. I wasn't able to find it until this year! I'm not sure if it has a title, but this YouTube vid basically names it the best as "CNN Student News Friday Recap Song".
~~~~~

*That* meme reminded me that I should probably check out more music by Imogen Heap, and I was not disappointed. I found something to like in each song of hers and Run-Time is no exception. It makes me feel I'm in some sort of Matrix video game crap. . .
~~~~~

Taylor Swift is a queen. She has developed so much over the years and it makes me emotional, but not as emotional as this song makes me. I found Enchanted because of Owl City. . . and you guys can Google that whole situation. Like, dude, what if they got together though
~~~~~

I don't know much about Lana Del Rey or Requiem For a Dream or Bastille, but Requiem for Blue Jeans is pretty cool. There's a curse word in the chorus, if that bothers you. I actually really like the chorus and the orchestra.
~~~~~

I may or may not have found Stray Italian Greyhound by Vienna Teng because of. . . a certain Sherlock *cough*fanvid uhmmm But yeah, I really like it with the orchestra (strings get me, man). And her voice sounds so pretty!
~~~~~

Can't Pretend by Tom Odell is a hot piece of ART. And if I'm reading it right, this is a live performance??! It is in a studio, so it's very possible it's edited and stuff, but good nonetheless. It picks up in the middle, huh?
~~~~~

I'm confused as to what the title/artist of this song is, but I think it's Finale by Para One. Either way, I love it! No vocals, just another orchestra!
~~~~~

Truth May Hurt by The Jungle Giants is really cool. I've never heard of them, but luckily I came across this song.
~~~~~

Sleeping at Last is a nightmare. I love literally every song he's created/covered. I ran out of iTunes spending money, and I can't even find any of his albums at the local library. Neptune was the first song I found of his.
~~~~~

Something about This Empty Northern Hemisphere by Gregory Alan Isakov sounds magical. And not in the traditional sense, either. Usually "magical" music is twinkly, romantic stuff, but this feels like touring the night sky.
~~~~~

I think the lyrics of New Ceremony by Dry the River is too sophisticated for my understanding, but the song is still cool-sounding.
~~~~~

I hadn't listened to Where Do I Even Start? by Morgan Taylor Reid a lot from the time I found it to now as I make this post. Very dramatic.
~~~~~

I'm not a big fan of the latest Beyoncé album, but I do appreciate the song XO. It's just really sweet and I imagine someone on an actual stage and a person just out there supporting them.
~~~~~

I haven't talked about Keane much on this site, but this group is amazing. We Might As Well Be Strangers is heart-wrenching and I love it.
~~~~~

You may know Birdy's cover of Terrible Love by The National, but I'm not even sure which version I like better. Here's the original!
~~~~~

I liked this performance of Uncover by Zara Larsson the most. That's probably because of the orchestra and the background singers, heh.
~~~~~

The Weight of Us by Sander Bohlke is a pretty little piece. I should look at more of his stuff. . .
~~~~~

Thanks to Tumblr, I found this awesome artist called Shawn Wasabi! Marble Soda was the first mashup of his that I heard, but his other mashups are cool as well and free to download! I have Mac n' Cheese on my iPod, I believe. Some curse words in this song. How does someone do this with this fingers, like woah?!

Alright, I hope that was a good song to end on for part one of this 100-song MTMT! Small round green vegetables!
